Nerdficiation is a sexual fetish involving the process of making or becoming nerdy either in appearance, style or personality. Typically, the fetish contains the changing of clothes, adding unfashionable and socially inept or boringly studious styles to a character (i.e. large glasses, braces, unkempt teeth, scrawny frame). It may also pertain to the way a character is made to act, either in a weak, submissive manner to the dominant (the "bully" in some cases such as school roleplays) or an obsessive fan of a franchise or subject. Nerdification is similar to bimbofication or himbofication, however, it may or may not include intelligence changes.
